Handprint Dinosaur Art

 Today I'm bringing some dino-love!
I shared this easy art earlier this month at A Little Slice of Special  and wanted to share today!
Last December my family welcomed a new nephew and his nursery is decorated in dinosaurs! My sister in law asked for help with some decor and this is what I came up with!


My nephew was born early...it was a little hairy him getting here...so I thought it would be special to use his big brother's hand print and make a dinosaur!  And it was so easy!



First I painted 2 16x20 canvases.  One a metallic blue and one a metallic green and did 2 coats.  Next, I printed off a speech bubble using PicMonkey and cut it out and the hand print.


Then I cut the speech bubble out of the word fabric and mod podged it in place.  Next I traced the hand print and then painted it in and added feet, tail, eye, mouth, and 'hair'. Finally, I added mod podge on top of the speech bubble. And done!


Moving on to the green canvas I simply printed off "Roar!" from my computer and then traced and cut it out of the blue chevron fabric and mod podged it on.




Custom, fun, easy, inexpensive nursery/kid art!!

I'm excited to be sharing an update to my craft room at Today's Creative Blog!

3rd Annual August Bash!

Welcome to my 3rd Annual August Bash!
Tomorrow is the reason why I love August! It's my birthday! Which means I must share birthday goodness and have a bash! I've got my trusty Bash Bag that I will be filling up with goodies this week to giveaway to one of you! I know, I know...it's giveaway city here but hey they make blogging fun right? 
So wanna see the Bash Bag? It's nothing special....


..........just kept it simple with some arrows! All I did was print off an arrow in PicMonkey and then used an ink pen and went along the lines until I had a pretty good indention in the bag plus some pen marks and then finished tracing free hand along the indention. Hope that makes sense! Then I painted over the ink with pink paint!


Each day of the rest of this week I'll share what's going in the bag and then on Saturday I'll recap and it'll be time to enter! One item isn't available to purchase until September 1st but I'm so excited about it that I still wanted to give one away! 

And don't forget I have a Firmoo Giveaway going on right now too!

Happy Tuesday!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-SRT Women of the Bible Part 2


Just finished part 2 of She Reads Truth's Women of the Bible series.  I loved it!  Just like in part 1, I gleaned a common thread.  That women are some of the best, devoted servants of the Lord.  And no matter how much we have on our plates as long as we keep Him first we can accomplish much!
I really want to encourage you today to join this community or at least make it a habit to do reading plans in the bible app. And I mean when you're done with one take a day or two if you need a break and then get right back in.  It truly, truly makes a difference!  And want to know an amazing thing? I felt the anointing of the Lord through Instagram! I had already been studying and didn't realize how much I was in the presence of the Lord when I shared my Mary Magdalene post that I read another lady's post on the same day of the plan and man what God spoke to her was so powerful it was all I could do hold the tears!  That's what being in this community can do I tell ya! Nothing but beneficial!

I'm not sure when the next SRT plan is up....in the next few days I'm positive....so get prepared...buy ya some pens and a journal if that's your thing.....and join me!! I'd love to interact with you on Instagram!

Ahhh....God is good!

Happy Saturday!
